It is always a joy to see the natural world coming to life in the spring! We have been busy setting up our new Tentipi in Hinckley and are excited to share this new space with all of you! See below for an inspirational recording offering some intuitive input for the month of May and also news about upcoming events this month.

May Empowerment Reading and Coaching Tips – This is an MP3 recording sharing insights for how to work with the opportunities available to us this month energetically and spiritually. It also includes some techniques you can use to stay balanced and let go of resistance that might block the flow of abundance for you. You can access the recording here: May Empowerment Recording 2018

Opportunities to Connect this Month

May Coaching Plan and Package – I love these sessions! The focus is to get crystal clear on what you are called to manifest for the month ahead. Then we see what might be sabotaging your manifestation of this goal and get guidance on tools you can use to help you reach it. It can be done as an individual session or a package. The package provides ongoing support throughout the month at a discount. Love Exchange: Coaching Plan Session Only (90 minutes) – $75/Club Members or $150/Non-Members OR Coaching Plan with One 60 Minute Follow Up Session – $100/Coaching Members or $200/Non-Coaching Members or Coaching Plan with Two 60 Minute Follow Up Sessions – $200/Club Members or $400/Non-Members

*These sessions can be scheduled by phone or in person (in the Tentipi! In Hinckley, OH).

Personalized Energetic Essence Session and Product: I have been working with energetic essences for myself and loved ones a lot lately and they are a very powerful tool! I thought it might be helpful to offer this in combination with an empowerment reading, so that you can have a tool to use on your own following the session. I have a collection of energetic essences I have gathered from our travels that will be used for this session. Each essence is linked to an energy center of the earth bringing powerful healing to the whole system. The earth has all the same energy centers we have in our body and I also have energetic essences for working with animals, plants, Angels, and other spiritual beings. For this session, I will see what energetic essences are needed for you and we will get guidance on why it is needed and how it can best support you in making changes. You will also get a bottle of the essence that you can add to water or use in a bath at home. Love Exchange: Session and Essence: $65/Members or $130/Non-Members. Personalized Essence Only (I will prepare and send you the essence): $35 – Includes domestic shipping and taxes. International customers may have an additional fee depending on shipping costs.

5/11 New Moon Meditation Circle (Hinckley, OH) – For this Circle, we will be sharing a medicine wheel meditation where you will connect with guidance to help you manifest your New Moon Wishes. We will be working with the elements of Fire, Water, Earth and Air and your Spiritual Support Team of Angels and Spirit Guides for this experience. This will be held in the Tentipi or outside around a fire if the weather permits. Love Exchange: $20/Club Members or $40/Non-Members

North Carolina Spiritual Retreat 5/25-5/28 – This event is full, but watch for news coming out soon about a fundraiser that will have great prizes you can win and a free guided mediation to help you set up your energy system for a GREAT DAY!

Oracle Card Message for the Month of May

From the Gateway Oracle Cards by Denise Linn

“Looking Deeper – Things are not always as they seem. Look deeper into situations and relationships in your life. Something that seems closed may just be ready to open. If you go beneath the surface, you may find hidden gems of truth, light and abundance.”

Nancy’s Reflections

Spring is a time of new growth and with all new birth, the process can sometimes be painful or scary. If you think about a seed’s process before it pushes through the soil, there is a time when it may have no idea what it is reaching for. There is even the possibility that it won’t break through the shell that protects it to start growing at all. I feel we are collectively in such a period. We often resist letting go of our “shell” because we are afraid we will be hurt if we don’t stay hidden in the place we have felt protected. But just like the plant, if we don’t answer the call to grow into our full potential and to create new life, we will eventually stagnate and die.

When we “look deeper” into the circumstances of our lives, we discover there is no reason to be afraid. In fact, we, like the plant, are wired to survive and thrive. The plant is instinctively drawn toward the sun, even if it is unable to see it. We, too, are wired with a deep wisdom and powerful life force that wants us to thrive and grow.

That is the key this month for working with the energies of this card. It is to surrender to a deep trust that there is a part of you that always knows what is needed. It is the part of you that is connected to the Creator and the Earth itself. It knows where the light is and it knows what it needs to draw from the soil to grow toward that light. As we look beneath the surface of what is happening within us and our world, you can see that there is a seed that has broken open and new life that is pushing to be born into our world. Have faith that it will happen. Relax and trust that no matter how many times you look and see an empty field where you planted your dreams, that in truth, many of those seeds are on their way up to the surface ready to burst into life.

May Coaching Tool

This is a wonderful video sharing a 10 minute morning yoga chakra balancing sequence which originated with Anodea Judith (one of my favorite spiritual teachers/authors!). This is a gentle, easy practice that anyone can do and it will help get your energies flowing at the start of your day!

Spring is coming! I have always loved spring and getting to see the green coming back. Spiritually and energetically, it is a call to plant the seeds of what we would like to grow in our lives. I have three different coaching events coming up this month that can help. See below for details:

New Moon Meditation Circle 3/16 7-9PM: The New Moon is a great time to make new wishes for the coming month. For this event, you will be led on a guided meditation and have time to connect with your own intuition to discover what you would love to create this month. You will also learn a tapping technique to help you release any subconscious blocks that may be interfering with manifestation. You will also receive an oracle card reading to finish up the evening. Love Exchange: $15/Network Members or $30/Non-Network Members

Spring Celebration Open House 3/24 1-5PM (Hinckley, OH):

My wonderful coaching clients have come together to offer a special event this spring to help raise money for the Crossroads Coaching Scholarship Fund. Join us for an afternoon of empowerment where you will experience the following…

Empowerment Circle with Nancy Nicholas (Intuitive Life Coach) to provide intuitive insight, practical coaching, and specific strategies to empower you to create your dreams this spring.

15 Minute Relationship Rune Reading with Shannon Whalen (Reiki Master/Shamanic Practitioner) for guidance on how to manifest your life purpose or career goals

10 Minute Energy Balancing Session with Neil Kopchak (Reiki Master)

Create Your Own Spring Manifestation Vision Cards – where you will plant the seeds of your manifesting intentions in the area of finances, health and relationships through creating a collage of words and images on a card to keep you inspired all spring

Rewilding Hike 3/31 10 AM – 12 PM (Hinckley Metroparks): Join Life Coaches Ryan O’Toole and Nancy Nicholas to learn how you can begin the “Rewilding” process by getting out in nature and reconnecting to your own wild self. We will start off indoors sharing about the concept of rewilding, how it can help you be healthier, happier, and more at home in nature, tips for making your hiking experience more fulfilling, and then we will be taking a three-mile walk around Hinckley Lake focused on nature observation and getting in shape for spring. Love Exchange: $15/Network Members or $30/Non-Network Members

Oracle Card Reading for March

From Soul Coaching Oracle Cards by Denise Linn

Delight – “Clap your hands with joy and let your inner child play. Be silly or play hooky and take a day off. This isn’t the time to buckle down and get to work; this is when you should be madcap and spontaneous. Have fun!”

Affirmation: “I delight in everything in my world and divine joy fills me!”

Nancy’s Reflections

As bizarre as it sounds, the more tense things get in the world, the more important it becomes to play. We are trying to shift into a lighter, higher vibration that is closer to the frequency of love right now -personally and collectively – so finding ways to enjoy your day and the simple pleasures it brings is actually accomplishing a lot! This month as the weather begins to shift into spring, find time to get outside and experience the wonder of nature. Be grateful for the still cold, snowy times too when you can relax with a cup of tea and enjoy being somewhere warm. Below is a great tool to help you get into a state of gratitude which is always a wonderful way to find delight in life and bring in this higher vibration which has the power to transform experiences and relationships that no longer resonate into something that is a better match.

Coaching Tool For March

I am really enjoying the Tapping Solution Telesummit! If you are interested, you can still sign up for free and listen to the remaining days of calls. In the meantime, one of the speakers I listened to was Brad Yates. I just loved his gentle approach and sense of humor! He has hundreds of tapping videos available on You Tube for free. Here is one you can watch by him to help bring in delight:

Below are some opportunities to connect for February. The first month of the Spiritual Support Network pilot program was a success, so I will be continuing it for February! This offers 50% off coaching services, along with other perks. You can learn more below, along with information about some of the events being offered:

I Ching Teaching Circles – Sunday 2/25 2-4PM (Hinckley, OH): The I Ching is a 5000 year old book and oracle that is based on the philosophy of Taoism. Taoism is explained in an ancient text called The Tao Te Ching 0r The Way of Life by Lao Tzu which teaches the philosophy of being in balance, working with the flow of yin and the yang, being in harmony with nature, non-resistance, and flowing with life. The I Ching is a much studied text and there are many versions of the book, some very complicated and confusing. We will be using two easy to access variations – The I Ching: Book of Changes by Brian Browne Walker that is a great introductory version and the Secrets of the I Ching by Joseph Murray. The first hour will focus on the process of getting guidance with the I Ching, doing a group reading, and the second hour will focus on giving you the opportunity to do a reading for yourself which I will help you interpret. I started my spiritual journey with the I Ching and worked with it extensively for several years. I am excited to share its philosophy and wisdom with you! You will need three pennies, paper, and pencil to participate. Book purchase is optional. Love Exchange: $15/Network Members or $30/Non-Network Members

Movement is a big theme for this year, so we will be starting the meditation circles with me sharing some of my favorite tools to settle the nervous system and to get your energy flowing optimally for the meditation. These will be gentle movement activities that share different energy balancing techniques you can also use during the meditation process. There will be a guided meditation, independent meditation time, and an opportunity to share as well. Love Exchange: $15/Network Members or $30/Non-Network.

Grow Your Gifts Reiki Workshop 2/17 (Saturday) 12 PM – 5 PM Hinckley, OH
In my work as an Intuitive Life Coach, my mission is to help people become empowered by clearing emotional, physical, mental and spiritual blocks, to connect them more deeply to their own innate wisdom and spiritual gifts, and to empower them to share those gifts as part of their life purpose. Learning a modality like Reiki offers a powerful tool to help in this process. Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique that offers many gifts to the practitioner and the one receiving the energy healing. It provides a way to balance and heal yourself, as well as shifting your vibration which makes it easier to connect with your Spiritual Support Team of Angels and Spirit Guides. For this workshop, you will be learning the answers to the following questions:

What is Reiki?

How can Reiki help empower me and those I love?

What are the steps to administer Reiki?

How can Reiki be used for healing?

How is Reiki tied to my life purpose?

How can I use Reiki in a way that is safe and nurturing for my system, especially for those who are highly sensitive?

How can I keep my vibration high so I have increased clarity and accuracy when connecting with my intuition?

Participants in the workshop will be receiving Reiki One attunements, experiencing hands on instruction and practice time, learning how to work with their intuition using Reiki, and intuitive guidance on how to more deeply connect to your Spiritual Support Team using Reiki to support this process. This workshop will be co-taught by Reiki Masters, Nancy Nicholas and Neil Kopchak. Love Exchange: $50/Network Members or $100/Non-Members

We are at the turning point of one season and the beginning of the next. These markers are good days to take time to honor what has passed with love and gratitude, release what no longer serves us, and set intentions for the new season to come. To support you with this process, I did a recorded reading for the Winter Solstice using a Medicine Wheel set up that provides messages from the Angels, Ancestors, Guides, and Mother Earth to support your continued empowerment in the Winter Season. The 20 minute recording is available at this link:

New Pilot Program from January 1 – March 31

I have found that consistent, ongoing spiritual support through life coaching, energy work and connecting with others on a spiritual path can make all the difference between hopelessness and empowerment. Unfortunately, lack of resources often stands in the way of receiving this support. Part of my work has been to not only teach about spiritual laws, but also to live by them. On this journey, I have been shown again and again that we are co-creating our experiences with the Creator and when you line up with your heart, resources come in to support you. I am being called to once again take a leap of faith, and trust this spiritual law, so that I can provide and receive this much-needed support. I invite you to take a leap of faith with me by joining the network with the intention of creating a new system where all thrive with abundance in all areas of our lives.

Networking with other members to provide meaningful connections and support for each other

Customized coaching workshops, classes, and events to meet the needs of Network members

Magical Child Workshop
January 14, 2018
1 – 5 PM
Hinckley, OH

For several years now, one of my favorite affirmations has been, “I am a magical child, living in a magical Universe where everything works out for me.” The idea behind it was to connect with my inner child in a way that is joyful and fun. It has worked beautifully! When I set that intention, I find myself having very magical, fun experiences and everything does work out because when we access the joyful child within, we are able to manifest miracles in our lives.
This workshop will include:

Intuitive insight and a message from your Magical Inner Child

Magical Child Oracle Card Deck which you will create to gain wisdom and insights from your Magical Child

Abundance Manifestation Technique that you can use on your own

Fun games

Lots of laughter

Light refreshments

I had a wonderful time with those who attended the Spiritual Toolkit workshop yesterday! It was great to see you all and to meet some wonderful new friends! I’m going to be having one more event this month on Friday September 22, 2017 to celebrate the Fall Equinox. I’ve made a slight adjustment from what I shared earlier in the month – it will be a two hour event, instead of a three hour event. There are TWO spots left. See below for details:

Fall Equinox Gathering

About the Gathering – For this event, we will be working with a Native American Fire Ceremony that focuses on forgiveness, releasing, and creating what we wish to bring in for a joyful season ahead. We will also be connecting with an earth energy center (kidney meridian vortex) on the property which will bring in energies that help clear fear and increase courage. Reiki Master Neil Kopchak will also be sharing his healing gifts through a mini Reiki balancing for each participant to provide additional support and I’ll be sharing intuitive insights as well.

Where – Hinckley, OH

When – Friday 9/22 from 6-8 PM

Love Exchange – $50/person

How to Register – Space is limited (we have TWO spots left), so please use the contact form below to sign up. I will send you a PayPal link to complete your registration if space is still available.

The eclipse energies from August created big shifts that may just be coming clear now. The image I saw about this was of the earth getting shaken, so that the sand shifted revealing an old, rusty structure. The message that came through was that we have been standing on ground that holds some outmoded patterns that are now ready to be cleared out. This can feel pretty intense. Imagine what it feels like to be standing on a sandy beach and suddenly have all the sand move to reveal you are standing on a rusty piece of metal! There may be confusion, as it isn’t always easy to figure out what the pattern is connected to. It is a good shift though, as sand is not the most stable of substances. We are clearing away to make more space for the authentic self to shine through! To support the process, listen to what your heart says. Take good care of yourself and get some help sorting through the debris if you need to! I also did a recording for September to get some guidance on the best way to work with the energies this month. A call for gentleness and patience seems to be in order. You can listen the recording here (about 13 minutes long): September 2017 Monthly Inspiration

September Opportunities to Connect

Ohio Spiritual Toolkit Workshop 9/10 – This event is full! Excited to see those of you who signed up next week!

Ohio Fall Equinox Gathering 9/22 6-9 PM – Join us in Hinckley, OH for a chance to gather and honor the changing of the seasons and receive spiritual guidance for the season ahead. We will be connecting with an energy center of Mother Earth connected to the kidney meridian to help us support the process of releasing the old structures (the rusty metal I mentioned above). Reiki Master Neil Kopchak will also be joining us to share gentle Reiki balancing while we work with the kidney meridian energies. We will finish with a sacred fire ceremony where we will be releasing any resentment and embracing forgiveness, as well as setting clear intentions for what we wish to manifest going forward. Love Exchange: $75/person or $65/person when you register with a friend.

Totem Pole Readings 20% off ($80 instead of $100) – In the spring, we started using this type of reading to help people connect with the archetypal energies that are going to be most helpful for them in this new nine-year cycle. It is incredibly powerful and a much-needed tool, as we navigate this transformational time. The reading was created by Ted Andrews and shared in the book Animal Totem Tarot by Leeza Robertson. Why I love this reading so much is because it helps you understand what is going on at your soil and with each of the chakra areas, so that you can work with the energies that will help you thrive, and avoid approaches that may no longer be appropriate for you. Readings are approximately an hour and will include: Identification of the animal allies and major arcana/archetypes that will be active for you, interpretation of how you can work with these energies, and an understanding of the overall theme you will be working with for this new cycle. You can use the contact form below to schedule! Sessions can be done in person (Ohio only) or by phone.

Crossroads Coaching Scholarship Fund

Thank you to those who generously sent love offerings since I have started this Fund! I have been able to help several people who really needed to work with me, but didn’t have the resources available to do so, while still meeting my own financial needs. I have had two recommendations for people who could use Scholarship support. One is a long-time elderly caregiver who is going through financial hardship and another is a mom of a child with Down syndrome. If you would like to help me help them, you can make a love offering at the link below.

Thank You Gift – This month’s gift recording takes you through my experience in the Black Hills area of South Dakota out on the prairie at sunrise on the morning of the Eclipse. It was an incredibly powerful experience that I am excited to share with all of you! You will be sent the link for the gift recording when you make a love offering of any amount.

We are still out west enjoying all the incredible places the West has to offer! We have spent time in Grand Teton National Park, Glacier National Park, Yellowstone National Park so far and we still have a few more stops ahead before we return to Ohio. This month’s recordings offer you a taste of the great energy out here! I hope you enjoy them!

August Special Offer – We are in the middle of two eclipses this month which is an incredible opportunity to shift our perceptions and release old beliefs, so we can make lasting change. To support you with this process, I’m offering 20% off on Empowerment Readings this month (30 minutes or longer). Use the contact form below to request your session (just indicate the length!).

August Empowerment Reading – I love to see what energies are coming for the month ahead! This month’s message is available below:

This month, I recorded the gift for love offerings to the scholarship fund right on a river in Gallatin National Forest. This meditation will help you release old patterns and beliefs and help you connect with how to allow the love and support available to you to flow in! The meditation works with the river energy and invokes Angelic support to help you make the most of this powerful month! All love offerings to the scholarship fund is used to pay for life coaching sessions for someone who is in need (while allowing me to keep paying my bills instead of doing everything for free!). Last month, I was able to help several people who really needed my support because of the love offerings you shared. THANK YOU!!! I pray that the Angels will send you a thousandfold of that which you give.

You can make a love offering here and the gift recording will be sent to you: Scholarship Fund

One of my favorite things to do is to ask for a daily vision for myself. It is a way to get a quick message to refer to throughout the day.

My book, Mother Earth Musings, offers a way to get such a daily message, and through 7/31, I’m offering a way to get one specific to you!

See below for details…

The email mini-reading will offer:

Vision of what is going on metaphorically from a spiritual point of view for the day

Interpretation and guidance on how to work with the image to have an amazing day

Love Exchange: $15 ($20 for those who would like to give a $5 love offering to the Scholarship Fund and also receive the Grand Teton meditation recording).

How to Register: Use the PayPal link below (you will have an option of using a credit card or checking account if you don’t have a PayPal account) and I will get the reading to you within a day or two!

I hope you are all enjoying the holiday weekend (for those in the USA)! I asked for some spiritual guidance for the month ahead and recorded what came through. I used the Gateway Oracle Cards by Denise Linn as part of the reading. The reading focuses on what needs to be healed, how to heal the blockage and future outcome if we follow the advice given! I also share a couple of special offers in the recording. Since I had a momentary brain meltdown about what my own special offer was for the month, I have included it below, as well as information on the special offer from Medina Massotherapy. See below for the details:

Special Offer from Nancy (Crossroads Coaching) – $10 off a 60 minute Empowerment Reading – Empowerment readings offer a combination of spiritual/intuitive insight with practical coaching strategies to empower you. You can learn more and purchase a reading at this link:Empowerment Readings

Special Offer from Medina Massotherapy (Combines Massage/Reflexology/Polarity Therapy) – $10 off a 60 minute Session: I just wanted to pass on a special offer going on with my massage/polarity therapist, Colleen McDermott Vitko, as I know many of you could use her support. Colleen is an exceptional healer who has a knack for working on the parasympathetic nervous system (the part that most of us rarely relax into!). I feel a big part of our challenge right now is that we typically have an overactive sympathetic nervous system which causes anxiety, depression, and other stress related issues. I’ve found working with Colleen has helped me to balance the two systems (parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems). Her work is deeply healing and so settling! She has a special this month for $10 off a session as she has some openings in her practice since some of her long-time clients have moved out of the area. Her normal rate is $75/session but with the special it will be $65 this month. Her office is in Medina, OH. You can find out more about her practice at this link: Medina Massotherapy

My coaching partner, Ryan, and I are heading out west for July and most of August! I am excited for my first visit to Grand Teton National Park! I will be sharing on my email list about our adventures and continuing to offer coaching services by phone (or if you are in Colorado, Montana, or Wyoming and want us to come do a workshop or empowerment reading circle in your area, let me know!). You can sign up for the email list on the right side of my website. It is free! Here is the link if you are getting this in your email:

I will be in Ohio for the Summer Solstice, so I am offering an in-person event in Hinckley, Ohio at a newly created grass labyrinth! The summer solstice is a powerful day to connect with what you wish to see blossom for the season ahead. I hope you can join me!
